• Cheese Importers- great Parisian style cafe to get a drink and/or lunch. "La Fromagerie", our European Marketplace, open to the public, features the largest walk in refrigerated cheese and cured meat market in Colorado.  Touting an inventory of over 350 cheeses, a broad selection of European housewares, linens, unique children's items, perfumes, soaps and our authentic French cafe "Bistro des Artistes" has become the "destination" for foodies, visiting family and our guests looking for a store that is not from a "cookie cutter" design. (taken from their website)
• Prospect New Town From barbeque to fine wine, there's several options here. One of my favorites is UrbanThai open for lunch only on Fri. and Sat. There are also some shops to check out, such as Nest Antiques and Gardens. 
• Love antiques and vintage items, stop by and check out The Front Range Mercantile.  My white porcelain hands for displaying rings were found here!
• We are located only 12 miles from the cute town of Lyons and those of you who want to hit a trail Rocky Mountain National Park is 35 miles away.
• Niwot is only 5 miles away with Rockin' Robins Retro and Retail Shop and some great lunch options too.

This is not by any means a complete list, but some of my favorites to share with you!  

We are very excited to share some warm hospitality with our RockHill friends and family.

Your support of our small family business means the world to us- Thank YOU! 

For those of you this email has reached that are out of town, my apologies.  

We will be having an online sale of some sort the same weekend-stay tuned!

Hello there...

It is time to photograph some lifestyle images for the new website & marketing materials!  My first desire was to fly to Austin, Texas and have a talented, new photographer Kim Anderson take the photos.  I know she would capture the jewelry and the effect I'm looking for.  We actually met via Facebook through RockHill Designs.  

I am very blessed to meet so many amazing women on this journey 

and she is one of the best!  She has sent me numerous photos of her beautiful children and some photos of her personal collection of RockHill Designs as well.

 Oh, how I wish I could have made that trip work! 

 Here are just some of her lovely shots:

Do you notice a theme at all?! 

 I love, love the architectural details she finds and uses.  

Interesting doorways, walls, fences...

It would also have been a treat to photograph during the spring 

with the wild flowers as a back drop as well. 

 Sigh...so I am not talented as a photographer

but I am willing to give it a try.  And so a search here at home for some cool backgrounds began and I found a few interesting options here in Boulder County, CO.

I know which my favorite is and where I will try to 

photograph this Thursday (weather permitted)  

I'm still learning how to use my Nikon D60 and all of it's manual settings! 

So Kim, if you're reading this, I will wish I was there in Austin with you snapping all the shots...

and I will be dreaming and scheming how we can make the 

next photo shoot an Austin affair.  

Here's a bonus shot by Kim Anderson that I hope will make 

you smile & feel all warm and fuzzy :)

Thanks for joining me on my journey, xxoo,

Skiing...a beautiful day in Colorado!

I can't believe it's already been a month since writing about living a life in balance

...the time has flown by.  Have I been living a balanced life?

I have had some success, yay, and will continue to work at it each day.  

And on the days where all the bits and pieces of work creep into every minute,

 I will give myself the gift of grace!  

Yesterday, was my first day skiing this season and

I willl openly admit that I am an extreme fair weather skier.  

Snowing, cold, wind...no thank you!  

So I have waited and waited for this beautiful day, 

schedule and good health to all coincide.  

Of course when leaving the house at 6:30 am felt like 5:30 am...

thank you daylight saving time...

I was wondering if I was still even a fair weather skier.

    

We had a great time, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  

Kelsey (our oldest daughter) and Peter (husband) were very patient, 

slowing down to ski the blues at Copper Mountain with me!  

When my legs finally cried 'uncle' they got in a few faster runs without me!  

What's a girl to do at the bottom while waiting?  

Enjoy a beer of course 

and a trial at what has become a popular trend that I haven't yet mastered...

...the selfie! 

(I must say it's even harder to accomplish in bright sun when you can't see your screen)

I also met a great couple from Longmont, Dian & Chad who own & operate

 the Flight Deck Grill at the Vance Brand Airport in Longmont, CO.  I'm really looking forward to taking the family there once they re-open in May!  

Now that I've finally hit the slopes...I'll be hoping all week for this Saturday to be another beautiful day and an even more awesome day with Corinne (middle daughter) and Alex (son & youngest) joining us on the mountain.  

                                             Shine On,

                                                            Lynette
